Percentage areas occupied by large steroidogenic cells, small cells, and blood vessels (luminal space) were determined (Optimas) within images of H & E-stained tissues (× 400 magnification; two fields within each of three different sections per gland).
In summary, the data demonstrate that 4-AP inhibits basal and FSH-stimulated progesterone production by pig GC via a complex mechanism involving drug action at multiple interacting steps in the steroidogenic pathway.
Voltage-gated K +currents with distinct electrophysiological and pharmacological properties are present in granulosa cells (GC), and modulate resting membrane potential [ 4 12 13 16 17 ] . Furthermore, selective antagonism of GC K +channels with distinct molecular correlates, electrophysiological properties and expression patterns can influence differentially GC proliferation, steroidogenic capability, and apoptosis [ 17 18 ] . Our laboratory has previously identified two distinct delayed rectifier K +currents in pig GC: a slow current (I Ks ) associated with channels formed by co-assembly of KCNQ1 pore-forming and KCNE1 accessory proteins, and an ultra-rapid current (I Kur ) formed by co-assembly of KCNA pore-forming and KCNAB accessory proteins [ 4 ] . Moreover, we have shown that selective block of I Ks enhances basal progesterone synthesis, while complete block of both I Ks and I Kur accelerates apoptosis [ 18 ] .

The pig granulosa cell line PGC-2 was obtained from Bruce Downey (McGill University) and maintained in culture in McCoy's modified 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS, as described previously in detail [ 19 ] . PGC-2 cells have been well-characterized with respect to steroidogenic capability, cAMP response, and gonadotropin insensitivity [ 19 ] . Here, PGC-2 were seeded at a density of approximately 5 × 10 5cells/ml of serum-containing medium in 24-well tissue culture plates.
